Kids Club: Cherokee Pinch Pots

Your school-age child will dive into Cherokee culture during this hour-long Kids Club session at the South Side library. The program introduces children to the Cherokee people through cultural education and exposure to some Cherokee language words. Kids will then get hands-on by creating their own pinch pot—a classic pottery technique they'll shape and craft themselves. This workshop is part of the library's Native American and Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month celebration in November, offering a meaningful way for children in kindergarten through fifth grade to learn about and appreciate Native American cultures. It's a great fit for kids who enjoy creative projects and are curious about different cultures. The library staff leads the activity, making it a welcoming introduction to both art and cultural learning.
